It is a small field of fillies, but very strong. She is returning from a 13-week break and may just be in need of this run. She will be running on and can finish in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. The break may have done her the world of good. Can improve.

Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 52.5kg
Draw: 13 (16 Runners)

He has had a very good preparation heading into this contest. He is in a good space and has been working well. He is drawn wide at thirteen which is an obvious concern. With a bit of luck in running, he is capable of running into the money.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:118. Close-up in latest over shorter. Versatile and should be cherry-ripe.

He finds himself in a very strong race once again. He may just need the outing and hopefully will be running on. He has a place chance.

Race 7 – 15:40
1800m – Yellowwood Handicap (Grade 3)
1 – Victoria Paige
Breeding: Captain Al – Miss Respect (GB) by Mark Of Esteem (IRE)
Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Lyle Hewitson
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She certainly has the ability to win a race of this nature. However, she is a temperamental filly and cannot always be relied upon. Jockey Lyle Hewitson gets along with her, she will be running on strongly and should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:112. Is held by number 4 on latest. Has claims on good prior form.
7 – La Luvia
Breeding: Soft Falling Rain – Mile High by Captain Al
Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: *Joshwin Solomons
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She is returning from a 14-week break and tries the 1800m. It may be a touch too far for her, but she has given us the indication that she is looking for a bit further. Apprentice Joshwin Solomons gets along well with her and she can run into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 14 wks. Best MR:95. Likely pacesetter. Steps up in trip and may be hard to peg back.
